Convention Recap: Making a Difference



Syntek Global is a company that believes in living without barriers. Our distributors throughout the world are already breaking through their barriers. But what if your barrier was to simply survive?

THE PROBLEM: LACK OF CLEAN WATER

*Nearly 1,884,000,000 people (1 in 8 people) worldwide do not have access to clean and safe water. 37% of those people live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
*Worldwide, 1 out of every 5 deaths of children under 5 is due to a water-related disease.
*Every 21 seconds, a child dies from a water-related illness.
*443 million school days are lost each year due to water-related diseases.
*3.4 million people die each year from a water-related disease. That is almost the population of Chicago and San Francisco combined!

For a billion people, there is either the lack of enough water or lack of access to safe water—and that barrier affects everything.
•    Time lost gathering water and suffering from water-borne diseases is limiting people's true potential.
•    Their futures are put in jeopardy as education and life itself is lost to sickness.
•    Economic development is lost while people merely try to survive.
•    Without clean water the possibility of breaking out of the cycle of poverty is incredibly hard.

THE SOLUTION: GIVE & LIVE

Syntek Global is proud to give back to our communities and the world through our Make a Difference program. We have partnered with Reach the Children, an organization that provides underprivileged children opportunities to become self-reliant by strengthening families and communities, to provide life-sustaining sources of clean water for underprivileged communities in Africa.

We can truly Make a Difference for people who desperately need it, by providing funds for three types of projects:












 Clean water makes a HUGE difference.

  • Students can attend school when they don’t have to spend their time gathering water. 
  • With Africa’s short rainy season and long dry season, irrigation is needed to grow crops. Access to water leads to food security, and with less crop loss, hunger is reduced. 
  • Safe water equals clean hands, which equals healthy bodies. 
  • Time lost to sickness is reduced and people can get back to the work of lifting themselves out of poverty.
Not only are we providing clean sources of water, but Reach the Children takes it one step further by helping communities set up irrigation systems. Additionally, farm management experts will coach farmers on irrigation, cash cropping, and marketing. We are going to teach them how to improve their own lives.

It's amazing how a relatively small investment can make such a dramatic difference in so many lives. According to the World Health Organization, for every $1 invested in water and sanitation, there is an economic return of up to $34 in those communities.

Syntek Global is already donating and we invite you to join us in our efforts. To participate, simply add a one-time donation to your Syntek Global order, or set up a recurring donation to give monthly with your AutoShip. If every distributor added a $10 Make a Difference donation to his/her orders, by the end of the year we could give a dozen communities and thousands of people access to clean water.

We can Make a Difference and remove this barrier to better health, a better education, and a better life for these African communities—and not only help those alive today, but all future generations.

Decide today to Make a Difference.

Convention Recap: Giveaways Galore


The 2014 International Convention wasn’t just about fantastic information, huge announcements, and reconnecting with the Syntek Global family—although there was plenty of that. Convention was also a time of celebration. And Syntek Global loves to celebrate with giveaways! 




There were dozens of chances for attendees to win prizes and cash through Syntek Global Plinco.




And we didn't forget the favorite tradition of Pick-a-Pocket with the founders.







In addition to all these giveaways were exclusive cash giveaways for distributors who earned tickets through the Emerald Expressway. Several $1,000 prizes were awarded.



We also gave away some of our largest cash prizes.

Yancy Barker won $5,000.

Bonnie Jones won $5,000.
Ishomo Blessing Unekwuojo won $5,000.

The winner of the $10,000 cash prize was Alston Hanley (St. Johns, Virgin Islands) who was clearly full of emotion and overwhelmed. When he took the stage, everyone was amazed by the story he told.


Alston pulled a notecard from his book "Think Grow Rich" and asked John Winterholler to read it. He had written down his goals, worked on personal development, and it happened!! THAT'S the power of desire and belief!




It was truly an amazing example that everyone has the power within themselves to make their life what they want!







We want to congratulate all our giveaway winners at convention!

Convention Recap: Awards & Recognition



One of the highlights at convention—for both the founders and distributors—was the Awards Gala, where we recognized all of our distributors in attendance by rank. We are constantly impressed by the capabilities of our distributors. The more we learn about the barriers you face, whether that’s family challenges, financial struggles, dead end jobs, difficult choices, or any of your other obstacles, the more we are impressed by how you are overcoming them. We recognize all your efforts and the inspiration you are to each other and those you meet.

We were excited to celebrate several new top leaders on stage, but there were two of them who were unable to make it to convention.

New Diamond, Farah-Ann Gray



From a humble home in Portmore, Jamaica, Farah-Ann Gray dreamed of achieving great things in life, so she did what 90% of the population did and gained an education. But with all her hard work, she didn’t feel she was achieving her dreams. She then found Syntek Global, a company that believes as she does that it doesn’t matter who you are, you can achieve greatness.

Farah-Ann goes above and beyond to make that statement true for her team as their Quiet Giant and constantly pushes them toward success. She is a very dedicated team leader and makes sure each team member has a solid foundation to start, and then nurtures people the whole way. She is thrilled to take the Syntek opportunity and inspire greatness in people, even when they don't believe in themselves. Congratulations, Farah-Ann, on reaching Diamond!
*Note: Farah-Ann was awarded her Diamond award a few days later by Co-Founder Joel Theler during a trip to the Caribbean.

New Royal Team Elite, Samson A. Adeniran

Samson Adeniran, from Nigeria, began his journey to a life without barriers through Syntek Global a little over a year ago when he traveled to a presentation in Ghana. He was inspired by the power to break down barriers across generations, and feels Syntek Global is an answer to his long-awaited prayer. He says, “Syntek is here for people who were once nobody to become somebody, people who were once zero to become hero.”

Samson Adeniran has broken through huge barriers in his life, and now the opportunity he was told would bring extra income is his main source of income. He has faced challenges and overcome them by living true to the saying, “Quitters never win and Winners never quit.” We want to congratulate Samson on this landmark achievement of making Team Elite!

Convention Recap: Why April 1st Is a BIG Day!

At our 2014 International Convention we shared our goal as a company to break down barriers in people’s lives. That isn’t just limited to the Syntek Global opportunity. At corporate we are also dedicated to breaking down barriers in the business for our distributors. As we announced at convention, on April 1st things are about to get easier! 

Beginning April 1st Paypal will be available for ALL distributors worldwide—not only for purchases, but also to receive commissions. This makes our payment and commission process standardized and much easier.

Also on April 1st we are breaking through the barrier of borders, because on that date the European Union will be open! That’s 28 countries and 28 new markets you can expand your Syntek Global business in. You will be able to enroll people online (simply select the country from the new drop down menu) and pay via credit card.



This is HUGE news! To help you understand this amazing opportunity, here is a little more information about the European Union:

•    There are over 503 million people in the EU (the 3rd largest population in the world).
•    There are nearly 300 million vehicles.
•    Average price for fuel is around $7 USD per gallon.
•    Across the EU the unemployment rate is 12%.
•    The EU has high taxes—sales tax alone is an average of 22% (compared to 6-8% paid in the U.S.).


So what does all of this mean? It means what we have said time and time again:

When you have the solution to a BIG problem.
Then you have a GREAT opportunity!

And on April 1st you can now share that great opportunity with 28 new markets! So gear up and get ready for your business to explode!
